Universal Manifest

Agent Integration Kit

Build with Universal Manifest

A version-aware kit for people building with AI agents. Plug Universal Manifest in now, or prepare for it as the spec keeps improving. Everything here is a map to the canonical specification, examples, and conformance suite — not a second copy — so it stays correct as the standard moves. For the concept first, start with how it works.

Pinned to: stable v0.3  ·  current v0.4 via latest  ·  preview-marked areas in v0.4.

The guide (PDF)

The comprehensive, agent-oriented guide: what UM is for a builder, the 60-second mental model, the build-now-vs-prepare decision, and Produce / Consume / Verify.

The skill

A thin, version-aware skill you can hand to your agents. It routes them to the bundled guide and a version index, then to the version-resolved canonical sources.

Trigger: producing, consuming, or verifying Universal Manifests.

The version index

The single switch that makes the kit version-aware. Every spec, schema, example, and conformance link in the guide and skill resolves through it.

Bumping a spec version is one edit here.

Stable, current, and preview

Follow head — current v0.4

Read the promoted document set

The latest alias serves v0.4. Its Base is production-candidate, while advanced and optional areas keep their preview labels. Do not treat this as a stable replacement for v0.3 unless your integration can absorb those labels.

Prepare for — preview-marked areas

Prototype without calling it stable

Preview-marked v0.4 areas are for forward-compatibility, prototypes, and working-group feedback. They are shaping:

  • Tier 2 ZKP proof profile
  • Tier 3 multi-party ceremony
  • JWE algorithm constraints
  • statusRef resolution schema
  • bilateral session model
  • profile registration
  • post-quantum signatures
  • federation

Building on a spatial fabric?

If you build on RP1 or an MSF-style spatial fabric, Universal Manifest is a companion, not a replacement. The fabric does live scope traversal; UM is the portable, signed, consented envelope for the parts of a subject that must survive outside a single runtime session. The guide’s integration index highlights the RP1 lane.

This kit references the canonical specification, examples, and conformance suite by version-resolved link — it does not duplicate them. The single source is agent-kit/ in the project repository; the downloads above are assembled from it.
